Simone Aughterlony, Antonija Livingstone, & Hahn Rowe

Supernatural

Avant-Premiere

Observing the Supernatural grants access to a shared kaleidoscopic body.

With axes, wood, violin, electronics, and the bare body, Simone Aughterlony, Antonija Livingstone, and Hahn Rowe stage an inquiry into vibrant matters. Human and non-human actants camp together on a hot-pink terrain under an unblinking fluorescent sky. Supernatural suggests a wilderness that signifies a plurality of agencies without ontological hierarchy. Queer lives encourage the dissolution of normative identity patterns. Supernatural actively chops up the topography of gender perceptions and welcomes the joyful techno-construction of multiple bodies and pleasures. Is this movement research or fun post-porn practice? Whatever it is, it brings the bodies and companion materials in conversation to know no difference between being excited, being exciting, and being excited with.
